A Midsummer Dream

Select format

Arik Blackbourne has a talent for wringing emotions from his audience. He can make them believe in anything, including love, although he detest plays about love even more than love itself. When his best friend and director decides to do an erotic adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Arik bows out. Yet Arik’s past rears its head unexpectedly, forcing him to return to the play and take on the role of Helenus, the spurned suitor of Demetrius. Despite his dislike of the play, it might be tolerable if it weren’t for the man slated to play Demetrius.

Donovan Montgomery is an amicable man, but Arik Blackbourne tests the limits of his patience. When Arik leaves them high and dry, Donovan decides to get answers. While he still doesn’t care for Arik’s standoffish attitude, Donovan has to admit the man is smoking hot and seriously talented. What starts out as just a love scene soon becomes much more, and Donovan must fight Arik’s past to win the love of his life.

Oh my, I so love this book! Arik comes off as standoffish and cold when we first meet him, but we soon realize he is hiding deep hurt and rejection. He only lets people in his life that have proven they can be trusted, and one of the few people is his best friend Jacob. Even Jacob is pushing the limits when he wants Arik to star in his adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream, a play he detests, and he wants him to star with Donovan, something he really doesn't want to do!
Donovan doesn't know what makes Arik tick and he doesn't want to, or does he? When a scene kiss is amazing and familiar, Donovan doesn't really know what to think! What he comes to realize is that he has been reading Arik all wrong, but can the two get their act together off stage as well? (that was a terrible pun, sorry ;P)
This is a wonderful story about what can happen when you look beneath the surface of a person and see them for who they really are! You must get this one friends, you will be so very, very glad you did! Thanks E.T., for giving us characters so lifelike we fall in love with them as well as the book! 5 stars
